The parents of the victims need to sue the city, the school, the police department, the county and the state for the slow response time. That way at least something will chance eventually on a local or state-wide level.

It isn't as easy as it sounds. Half these cops wouldn't have that level of skill or mental ability to handle such a situation, hence why they have specialised units for these events. They also focused on getting kids out of other classrooms.

Once the guy locked himself in one room everyone in that room was pretty much dead and wounded, it was better to wait it out and ensure other students were safe first in case he decide to go for another round to other rooms. If they rushed that room they would have just been shot up in the heat of the moment as he was body armoured up.

The 19 cops outside of that classroom were S.W.A.T, a specialized unit that has been militarized since 9/11. A few of them were also reported to be border control, another militarized unit. 

There is no apologizing for the police here. It wasn't better. There were children calling 911 in that classroom as that officer made that decision. 

Body armor isn't magic, which is why he was shot after border patrol eventually ignored the order to not enter the classroom. 

The lengths people go to apologize for police. Sigh.
